Syracuse, NY -- Syracuse area roads appeared to bear the brunt of today’s snowstorm.

Between midnight and 2 p.m., there were about 150 car crashes inside the city, Syracuse Police Sgt. Gary Bulinski said. Most of the crashes involved minor property damage and no one needed to go to the hospitals, he said.

The crashes were distributed evenly about the city on both highways and city streets, Bulinski said

A website, 511ny.org, shows that many Central New York arteries remain snow covered and icy this afternoon.

Centro continues to operate on snow routes in Syracuse and Onondaga County.

“It seems to be the Onondaga County area, the central metropolitan area, was being the hardest hit,” said State Police Trooper Jack Keller.

Keller reminds drivers to take their time getting to their destinations and to fully clean their car of snow.

Police can ticket a driver if the rear windows of their vehicle are fully covered with snow, or if there several inches of snow on the roof, he said.

Too much snow on a car is a hazard to the driver and others, Keller said. Snow flying off a vehicle can cause other drivers to lose sight of where they are going or to lose control, he said.
